Soaring ceilings and large windows create a bright, airy ambiance, while spacious formal rooms invite entertaining, family and recreation rooms provide comfortable venues, and a gourmet kitchen stands ready to cater dinner parties on a grand scale. Enjoy the privacy of the master suite with a spa-like en suite bath, and find serenity amongst the trees that populate the peaceful grounds.
